[HOWTO] 4.4.4 - Fix Atrix Battery Percentage and Drain

[guruzen]

As of now, when we charge the phone, it shows a max of 70+. Hardly does it move beyond.
However, when we run AtrixBatteryFix.apk, it shows >100%. I have seen it go beyond 200% as well when i run the fix from the apk again and again.

battd changes is to fix the percentage problem and hwcomposer.default.so is to get rid of HDMI infinite loop. Thanks @fehead for putting it altogether and creating a zip.

After this, Run AtrixBatteryFix application and you should see the battery percentage coming properly.
When the battery fell <80%, i put it on charge and it reached 90%.

I hope this fix helps 4.4.4 users who have battery percentage issues.

Here is a way to fix this problem.
1. Extract batt_fix_444.zip
2. Replace "battd" under /system/bin. (Back up the old one in sdcard)
3. Change the permission similar to rest of the files under /system/bin
4. Replace "libbattd.so" under /system/lib. (Back up the old one in sdcard)
5. Change the permission similar to rest of the files under /system/lib

After this, Run AtrixBatteryFix application and you should see the battery percentage coming properly.
When the battery fell <80%, i put it on charge and it reached 90%.

Running the fix the OP provided fixes the 70% cap that some users are experiencing and prevents the 100-200% showing when only using the batteryfix.apk before applying the OP's fix

As reported in the CM11 thread, adding the 1% line to the build.prop also assists in making this fix better. You can still run the batteryfix.apk if you want after applying fix

Works on [ROM] CM 11 ( Android 4.4.4 ) for Atrix (BigPart) by Zn7mkUKzN1r8aCIV

This fixed the annoying battery percentage issue I was having. For me it was stuck at 85% but the voltage was correct and my phone was lasting an 1-2hours at 1%.

I will report back if it has a noticeable impact on battery life.

Thanks!

EDIT: Odd this morning its at 102% @ 4203v. I'm pretty sure my battery is worn enough that it shouldn't be able to reach that voltage. Backstory: after some usual usage involving an external battery my phone got stuck at 66%. Rebooting had no effect. I learned many moons ago that rebooting and shutting down isn't the same as pulling the battery. When I pulled the battery and reinserted it read 99% @ 4197v - success! So I plugged it into my slow charger over night to maintain that level.

Where in the first post did it say that zip had an app in it? Did you try searching for the app in the appropriate section?

they have been tested in android 5.0?

No b/c 5.0 is not stable enough and we don't know if the mod for a dalvik/ART system will work on an ART only system. On top of that, this thread is for 4.4.4, not 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, or 5.1.

Hi, guys!
The HDMI mirroring works perfectly with audio?

What ROM are you using?
